Description Usage Arguments Images and figures YAML config Badges

First looks for index.Rmd or README.Rmd, then index.md or README.md. If none are found, falls back to the description field in DESCRIPTION.

1	build_home(pkg = ".", override = list(), preview = NA, quiet = TRUE)

`pkg`	Path to package.
`override`	An optional named list used to temporarily override values in `_pkgdown.yml`
`preview`	If `TRUE`, or `is.na(preview) && interactive()`, will preview freshly generated section in browser.
`quiet`	Set to `FALSE` to display output of knitr and pandoc. This is useful when debugging.

If you want to images in your README.md, they must be stored in somewhere in the package so that they can be displayed on the CRAN website. The best place to put them appears to be man/figures. If you are generating figures with R Markdown, make sure you set up fig.path as followed:

```{r, include = FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(
  fig.path = "man/figures/"
)
```

To tweak the home page, you need a section called home.

The sidebar links are automatically generated by inspecting the URL and BugReports fields of the DESCRIPTION. You can add additional links with a subsection called links, which should contain a list of text + href elements:

home:
  links:
  - text: Link text
    href: http://website.com

The "developers" list is populated by the maintainer ("cre"), authors ("aut"), and funder ("fnd").

You can remove the first heading with

1 2	home: strip_header: true

Status badges are displayed in the sidebar under the section "Dev status". This section is automatically populated if the first paragraph of the homepage consists solely of status badges as linked images.
